The Prosperity Show Podcast

Eric Rogell is the host of the popular “Warriors, Lovers, Kings, and Heroes” podcast, sought after corporate speaker, bestselling author, and serial entrepreneur. He shows high achieving executives and entrepreneurs how to break through barriers, forge mental toughness, and inspire and engage their teams, making them more capable, more confident, and more connected.

Highlights

  • Eric explains how learning how to honor people allowed him to become more complete and better as a podcast host.
  • We are all the same and are all on the same journey, just different flavors.
  • When we share our stories with each other, it connects us.
  • Technology, especially Zoom, allows us to connect in a whole new way to so many more people and become inter-generational.
  • When you are more deliberate about the connections you make, you get more out of it.
  • Platforms like Facebook allow our connections to go wide. Being more deliberate with our connections allows us to go deep, which allows us to feel more connected.
  • Eric gives us a picture into his background and his upbringing which led him to do the kind of work he does today and why he is so interested in emotional intelligence.
  • In his work, Eric talks about four archetypes: Warrior, Lover, King, Hero.
  • The Lover side is the emotional side, which is harder for men than the Warrior side, which is easy for them.
  • With women, the King becomes the Queen and women often like moving into that energy.
  • Aggression is the downside of the Warrior. He talks about how Mother Teresa was a fierce Warrior without being aggressive – quite the contrary.
  • We all have the masculine and feminine within us and each is a unique combination of those two energies.
  • Your brain is your biggest enemy when you want to change. Your heart may want to change, but your brain will lead you to resist the change.

Just like everything else, your self-concept is a habit that affects all of your decisions. Protecting your identity often keeps you from moving forward. In this episode, I talk about The Identity Factor and how you can move past the restraints and puts on you as you try to keep yourself safe.

Highlights

  • Definition of The Identity Factor: A mechanism that kicks in – subconsciously – whenever you try to make a significant internal change that will affect your self-concept and your position in the world. There’s a fear that if you make these changes, it will lead to your being alone and alienated.
  • I talk about the behavioral effects of The Identity Factor.
  • Common among successful people is that they never feel satisfied. So learning to be satisfied is a threat to who they perceive themselves to be – even though they understand that learning to be satisfied could make them more comfortable.
  • We are programmed to always want more, which keeps us unsatisfied.
  • If you have a habit of feeling alone, learning to feel connected can be a threat to your identity.
  • It is perfectly natural to resist major changes to how you have been. It’s easier for younger people than for older people.
  • Are you willing to look at who you have been so you can decide who you want to be?
  • It takes courage to let people know who you really are.
  • In order for your life to change, you have to change.
  • The more adept you are at change, the better your life will be – even though those periods of change can be uncomfortable.
  • To become naturally prosperous – where you really feel rich – you need to look at many internal aspects of yourself and be willing to make changes.
  • Each person has a unique combination of things they have to work on to become more comfortable.
  • To be a full human being, we have to learn how to live in society and we get to choose how we want to do that and who we want to connect to.
  • Your external world is just a reflection of what’s going on inside of you.

Erin Marcus is the Founder and CEO of Conquer Your Business, an international company helping entrepreneurs and small business owners get out of reaction mode so they can be in charge of their businesses and their lives. Having made the successful leap from corporate executive to entrepreneur, she uses that experience, along with her MBA education and street-smart upbringing to help her clients reach heights they never dreamed possible. And have fun doing it!

Erin is also an international speaker, having spoken for both corporate and entrepreneurial audiences including Highland Capital Brokerage, US Bank, Women’s Council of Realtors, and a wide variety of entrepreneur organizations.

Highlights

  • Erin loved her corporate job but felt that something was missing and that she didn’t have enough control over her business world. That’s why she left corporate.
  • After corporate, Erin had a franchise and she tells why it was a burnout experience.
  • It never occurred to Erin that she couldn’t do what she wanted to do.
  • Because she had a lot of health problems as a baby, Erin developed a survival mentality. She shares the details.
  • Everything you are and what you do is a choice.
  • Your brain’s only job is to keep you alive, and it perceives everything as a threat.
  • People, including family, can support you but that doesn’t mean they understand you. Surround yourself with such inspirational people that it doesn’t matter what your family thinks.
  • Even though she has trouble relating to the experience of her feelings, Erin has made the choice to learn how to do it.
  • When people want to build a business, they often get good at doing the tasks but don’t learn the skills of building a business.
  • A coach’s job is to help their clients work through their fears.
  • The question, “What’s the worst that can happen?” can help work through fears of doing new things.
  • Most often, the thing that people are afraid will happen can’t happen.
  • One of the biggest problems for entrepreneurs is that they avoid talking to people.
